Enjoy a Birthday Mug Cake

Forget about baking and frosting the perfect birthday cake. Birthday Mug Cake is ready in only five minutes. If you haven’t tried a mug cake before, mug cakes are a perfect dessert. They are sweet, tasty, and really easy to make.

With just one mug, you can prepare, cook, and eat a sweet mini cake. Sounds great, right?!! That’s why it’s called a mug cake – one mug for one cake. So, there is virtually no cleanup. Plus, with only a few ingredients, it seriously couldn’t get easier.

Baking this cake is easy, but it’s also so full of flavor. Birthday Mug Cake bursts with sweet vanilla flavor. Even with its small size, every bite tastes like it’s warm and fresh out of the oven.

What Makes this Birthday Mug Cake healthier?

You have to love its small size. Instead of cutting yourself one slice of cake and then another. Mug cakes really are the perfect size for one person. It’s like one amazing slice just for you. So, you can let yourself indulge without worrying about eating too much.

Birthday Mug Cake is also a healthier cake. Unlike other birthday cakes, this cake is made without butter, cream, oil, or eggs. Instead, it is given its rich texture from a combination of milk and apple sauce. Healthier and tasty, this is one amazing cake. It’s so perfectly decadent, you won’t miss those ingredients. I promise!!

How to Make Birthday Mug Cake

Let’s get this party started! Find your favorite microwave-safe mug or ramekin. It is about to be filled with a yummy mini cake. Add flour, milk, sugar, apple sauce, baking powder, vanilla, and salt. Stir it all together before adding in the sprinkles. There’s nothing like a vanilla cake bursting with sprinkles. It just screams party!

Now all that’s left is baking it in the microwave. In less than 2 minutes it will be ready. Since all microwaves are different, I recommend that you start by cooking it on high for 1 minute. Continue to cook it for 10 seconds at a time until it is ready. You’ll know it’s finished when the top firm and a toothpick comes out clean.

When it’s warm and fresh out of the microwave, you can top it with a candle or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Whichever way you serve it, your sweet wishes will come true when you take your first bite.

It’s that time! Let’s celebrate with some cake!!
